Abstract:
Polymorphism in plasma albumin (Alb.) is described in this paper. Albumin mobility was tested for polymorphism in 317 starlings by starch gel electrophoresis. Two phenotypes of albumin (AA = 92.42% and AB = 7.58%) were found. This system seems to be genetically controlled by two alleles, AlbA (0.962) and AlbB (0.038).
